    Vitamin C can promote the absorption of plant iron. In the daily diet, the iron contained in animal foods is heme iron, which is easier to absorb, while the iron in plant foods is non-heme iron, which needs the assistance of vitamin C to be better absorbed. Vitamin C can also promote the absorption of calcium, which is beneficial to the fetal bone development. Citrus fruits, kiwis, fresh dates, green peppers, bitter gourds, and potatoes are all rich in vitamin C. If you can ensure a reasonable diet and a balanced mix, it is not recommended to supplement vitamin C.
